Re: DMPS question

Hi healing,

No taking large amounts of a chelator like DMPS infrequently is *very* unsafe, due to the problem with redistribution as has been discussed in previous posts. I would suggest you read Amalgam Illness (Cutler's book which explains it more). Your doc needs to read it too!

Ditto the urine challenge. Don't do that either!

Some people find DMPS better than DMSA so it's great you have access to that. There are definite advantages eg it doesnt lead to an increase in gut bugs as with DMSA. I wish we could get it in the UK!

Yes you can take DMPS every 8 hrs but like DMSA and ALA best to start off on a lowish dose eg 12.5mg just to be on the safe side and then if you feel fine for a few rounds then increase. I would suggest doing say 3 days on for a round, then at least 3 days off and see how you go, or whatever length of round you were comfortable doing previously.

How did you feel on those doses of DMSA and ALA?

Has your doc got you on liver, adrenal and thyroid support? Rather I should have said you *need* to be on this support whether your doc advises it or not.

Take care :-)
